A Wonderful Experience
5/5

From the moment we were collected at the airport, everything ran smoothly with Jocky Tours. They brought us straight to the office to pay for our trip. As our tour was not starting until the following day, we had one day/night to explore Nairobi. The company arranged for a taxi to bring us to our hotel and collect us again that evening for dinner. We were brought to Carnivores restaurant which we thoroughly enjoyed. The following morning we met our guide, Martin, for the first time. He was fantastic! We were extremely well looked after and his knowledge of the Masai Mara was incredible. I would highly recommend Jock Tours and in particular I would put in a request for Martin, as I don't think you could ask for a better guide!

3 day Masai Mara
5/5

We had such a good time on this trip. Even though we paid the lowest price for a safari we could find (and were therefore not expecting the best), we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Everything was included, except for drinks, but since we don't drink much, this didn't bother us. But there is always free coffee, tee and hot cacao.
Our driver/guide was super cool, making sure we would see everything and up close. Since we came during the low season there were very few tourists there, but we got lucky with the weather, which means we had the occasional lion or so to ourselves.

Great Safari tour and wonderful experience!
5/5

We had a school group of 3 families; 6 parents and 4 young kids. I'm one of parents and the coordinator handling the tour arrangement. I contacted several Safari tour companies and Jocky Tours is the best from beginning, in terms of timely communication, knowledge and price. The company representative Minneh is very professional and responsive to all my questions. We arrived in Kenya in March for a 6-day tour, from Masai Mara to Amboseli. They picked us up at the airport at midnight, and dropped off on the last night, everything went smoothly, and it was a great Safari tour, seeing all kinds of wild animals and sceneries. Both parents and kids were so happy about the whole experiences and arrangement by the tour company. Our driver/guide Steve is exceptionally good, great knowledge, easy to talk, has sense of humor too.
Although it is a budget tour company, but to our request, they booked luxury and mid-level hotels , and still the best price, tour package, and quality of service.
Overall, this is a great and reliable Safari company. I would use them again, and highly recommend them as well. Thanks!

Best Value Safari!
5/5

John our guide picked us up from Nairobi, ad after an 'african massage' we arrived at our very comfortable tent.
With each safari drive we saw different animals with our guide stopping for perfect picture locations. Great value for money with a smiling guide for a recommended budget trip. We saw 4/5 of the big 5

Great safari at a low price
5/5

Thank you very much for the great safari!
I have 5 times experience of tour with Jockey tours, and every safari was fantastic!
The driver has great knowledge and experience, and he has the skill to stop a car at the right place to take a photo of animals!

The Lenchada camp is very clean and comfortable, and has security guards of masai people all day and night. It really reassured me. As the security is very important in Kenya, I recommend the safety campsite.

The tour cost was reasonable, you might want to compare the price with another companies.

The first and best safari..
5/5

Jocky tours gave us a wonderful safari experience.
It was a great trip. Me and my family enjoyed all the game drives at Masai mara, the accommodation, food, drive at Lake Nakuru and everything else.
Ms.Minneh arranged the trip really well.
Mr. John, our driver, was a very good guide for us there. He did his best to show us all the animals and places he could and gave us interesting small stories about the animals. A special thanks to him.
Altogether, we had a fantastic tour and enjoyed it to the core.
Jocky tours really lived up to the expectations we had.
The first impression is always the best, and we loved our first safari.

Jocky Tours showed me God's Own Den !!!
5/5

Hi,

I am from India and my long time wish to visit Kenya finally happened with the help of Ms. Minneh and Jocky Tours.

In India, the state Kerala is also called as "God's own country". Similarly, I call Kenya as "God's own Den".

We went to Kenya for 10 days. The itinerary was planned by ourself and Jocky Tours helped us to fine tune it. 4 days in Masai Mara, 5th day drive to Nakuru and on the way we visited Lake Naivasha, 6th day - Lake Nakuru, 7th day drive to Aberdare and on the way visit Thompson Falls - stay at The Ark. 8th day - drive to Amboseli. 9th day - full day Amboseli safari. 10th day - drive back to airport.

Ms. Minneh was very responsive to all our mails and replied very well to all our queries. The driver/guide she assigned to us was very good and always in an enthu to take us out on safari. The vehicle she provided was also good. The picnic lunch that she arranged were a real picnic lunch in the middle of the national park and were very filling.

This trip has left me wanting to go back once again to Kenya. Maybe, next time I plan to visit Samburu National Park and Sweetwaters.

Asante Sana (Thank you so much in Swahili)
